Crazy Cravings!

sessmith2013

So I have has alot of unexpecting cravings thus so far. Like pickles, olives, green olives, cider vinegar, vinegar, salsa, mexican food, avocados, sour patch kids, sour candies, tomato juice, all sorts of things. just want to know opinions, was told sometimes your cravings are going off what your gender will be. Any other random cravings out there?

You crave a certain food because it contains something that your body is lacking at that time.
There is something in pickles I forget what that is not found in many foods, that your body needs, thus a lot of pregnant women crave pickles a lot.

I had a totally random craving for a chili dog today (I'm a vegetarian, and even before I was, I was NOT into chili dogs).

While I was pregnant with my daughter, the craving I most remember was cheesy tater tots from Sonic. At the time, we lived an hour away from the closest Sonic, and I was so, so sad.

I did not eat a chili dog today, FTR.

I have also been very into pickles and olives, but also sweets and carbs (but I think that really has more to do with m/s than anything else).

I think the OWT is that if you crave sweets, you're having a girl; if you crave salty/savory things, you're having a boy... for whatever that's worth.

I am literally craving everything you listed. Pickles, salsa, and sour patch kids.. Only thing I haven't craved on your list is the tomato juice! How strange! I have no idea if it's baby gender related.

I want lots of spicy food and salty food.  I had been craving spicy sushi rolls.  My most recent obsession is tex mex.  Tacos, burritos, enchiladas, quesadillas, loaded nachos, chimichangas, rice and beans with lots of guacamole, salsa, sour cream, cheese and hot sauce.

My first odd craving was brown sugar cinnamon pop tarts. I hadn't had a pop tart in years so why on earth I wanted one a few weeks ago is beyond me. A sloppy joe was pretty odd too. The last few weeks though its been icystuff. Sno cones and Popsicles. Firecracker Popsicles to be specific, the red white and blue ones.

When I was pregnant with ds I always wanted salty food. This time I'm craving more sweet foods. I'll know in a few weeks if that means I'm having a girl.
